Worst Timeout in the history of basketball
« on: March 08, 2008, 02:14:16 PM »
I'm sorry why did you call a timeout after Malik made the free throws when WVU had no timeouts? You just gave WVU time to gain composure and for Huggins to draw up a play. Whatever you were going to do you should have said what to do on defense on the timeout before whether Malik made or missed it. Horrible horrible horrible

I agree, what made it worse is Norm spoke to his coaching staff and not his players during that Timeout.  What good coach would call a timeout in that situation?

its not that bad...its a little helter skelter after made free throws.  Its better to set up the defense   
IMO.  Horne should not have been pressuring so much that he was beat at half court.  And You're supposed to stop the ball.

first off WVU had no timeouts so they would have had to rush down the court....you should have set up the defense in the previous timeout there was nothing to discuss besides that instead you allow huggins to draw something up.

In addition to who ever it was should gotten to the sideline quicker to trap not allowing him to split the defense

draw up a play?  the guy took it full court just like he would've after the made free throw.  Boothe was the one who tried to step up....the WV kid made a nice play but Horne should have been off him more and Boothe took a bad angle to cut him off. 

I don't think the timeout was that big of a deal.

he iso'd the whole side of the court for him

notice no one one wvu was seen....they might have bunched up with the timeout perhaps i am over analyzing but it really didn't help matters. It also gave wvu more time to get composed instead of rushing like a chicken without a head down the court.

I think your overanalyzing.   One guy got the ball...we can't allow him to take it full court.  TO has nothing to do with it IMO.

I just read in the post game quotes now that huggins wanted to get the ball to him on the left hand side. So he did draw that up with the timeout.

and mentally.  calling a timeout gets WVU focused again.  they prob were panicing when they saw they were losing to ST JOHN'S with 5 seconds remaining.

I don't agree with calling the timeout but it was more bad defense than the timeout.  Keep the damn kid in front of you.  It's Not Norm's fault the kid went coast to coast for a layup.  Someone needed to make the kid change his direction atleast once.  Horne pressured to much, boothe took a bad angle and went for the steal and missed, and mase was to slow rotating for the block.  Bad Defense is what it boils down to.

I actually think it was a good time out.  Players are usually excited and dont want to foul. During the time out he should be saying keep your men in front and contest all shots.  He probably did say that but inexperience is a dangerous thing.
